Brown Eyed Women

Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Every bit the equal of Cornell. 8/24/80 still has a better solo, but this is 1977 y'all.

Perfect, with some filthy guitar in the outro.

Scarlet Begonias

Red Rocks Ampitheatre

1984 audience only standalone Scarlet (touch) at Red Rocks. Great solo, excellent transition.

Ship of Fools

Hampton Coliseum

10 minutes, on YouTube and worth a peek in b/w scarlet>bucket and terrapin.

Hell in a Bucket

Hampton Coliseum

Out of Scarlet Begonias to open the second set, with some teases of the song in the transition.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Jan. 17, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

1) Excellent FOTM; 2) short, but decent transition; 3) ho-hummy Scarlet Begonias.
Eyes Of The World
March 19, 1977
Winterland Arena

This is way better than 8 votes, with crisp, fluent solos and a Jerry-led space section a la the 5/22 Eyes>Wharf Rat transition on DP3. This Eyes is the set 2 opener and it goes into Dancin in the streets.
Let It Grow
Sept. 2, 1979
Augusta Civic Center

This one is an anomaly. I want to love this version deeply - fall 79 is a favorite, but, as long as it is, it is just as meandering. I have to be in the right state of mind for this one - but I do keep pulling it out. This one is kind of like the 11/5/79 Eyes for me. It's art, for sure, but not something I always want to hear.
The Other One
Jan. 20, 1979
Shea's Theater

The jam out of space back into TOO is quintessential Grateful Dead music. Sometimes posters list sequences but there's no tie that binds - it's just a nice series. Glynparson is on to it here - you need to hear the whole bunch together.
Dark Star

Shea's Theater

Not the greatest ever or anything, but check out that liquid transition from TOO.
